Creamy and loaded with tender chunks of chicken, this comforting keto green chicken enchilada soup is sure to become one of your new favorites!
I’m a big fan of easy keto soups that can be thrown together in just minutes. Mostly because I’m lazy like that, but also because they are filling and satisfying and never leave me feeling sad about a lack of carbs.
This awesome keto green chicken enchilada soup is no exception. It’s so dreamy and flavorful that every sip is total bliss. I’d even go so far as to say that it rivals my popular jalapeño popper soup from Week 2 of my free keto meal plans!
With only 5 ingredients and no chopping required, it doesn’t get much easier than this keto green chicken enchilada soup either! You can cook it in less than 10 minutes on the stove, or even faster if you do it in the microwave.
Using a rotisserie chicken is super convenient when you’re pressed for time – and while I always have some of my easy Instant Pot bone broth on hand, you can also substitute a good quality boxed chicken broth or stock in a pinch!
If you’re already a fan of my Green Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole then you’re really going to love this soup! On its own it’s not spicy – making it perfect for families with children, but you can add additional heat with minced jalapeños or habaneros if that’s how you guys roll!
To my lactose intolerant peeps, I apologize in advance – this soup won’t work the same without the dairy. For a similar flavor profile in a dairy free format, I recommend trying my low carb Mexican Chicken Soup from a few years back instead!
In other news, we are in the states until Saturday, when we return to sunny Belize for a few months before our next trip. While it’s been great traveling and spending time with family and old friends, I’m exhausted and looking forward to our simpler life on the island. Not to mention the incredible sunrises and sunsets!
Also I finally got my new Canon 5D Mark IV and some fancy new lenses and tripods – so I’m excited to get into the studio with them and start shooting some videos of my most popular recipes, as well as some new ones that I’m working on!
Stay tuned for lots of fun stuff coming up! And in the meantime: GO MAKE THIS SOUP! Seriously.

Delicious. I used a small can of hot chopped green chiles in place of the salsa verde. Exactly what I wanted.

Holy crud, is this good! I will be making this lots! I plan on cooking 3-5 chicken breasts and shredding them with my stand mixer then freezing the cooked, shredded chicken in 2 cup increments so I always have chicken on hand for this.

I made this tonight and it was so good- especially with the added touch of cilantro at the end- that’s what really put it over the top for me!
I just dumped the cream cheese, cheddar, broth, and salsa verde in a pot on low until melted and then using my immersion blender to smooth it all out, then just added the chicken and for a little texture added 1/2c chopped celery and 1/2c chopped carrots. I think next time I will take the tip other reviewers mentioned of added a can of chopped chilis. It’s VERY filling!
